Sunday Prayer: All Saints' Day - Grace Unbound



Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be
Bless all the saints with the light of your love
Bless those who have gone before us and
those who are with us still and
those who will be 

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be
Set the clock of our hearts for the days ahead
Set our hearts on gratitude and hope
Set our hearts on love, you
and all that will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be
Help us in our time of tribulation and anxiety
those who are weary from the storms
hurricanes and life, politics and elections
and all that will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be
Guide us with your compassion, teach us
to rise and follow you, even when bound
by fear and constrained by stuff
- all that is and will be

Holy One, God of all that was and is and ever will be
Fill our anxious hearts with peace, let us hear
Jesus' words, "Come" and "unbind him"
Unbind her, unbind us. Let us all reach out
in love unbound for what is and ever will be.
Amen.
